    “ Une belle expérience ”

    On the 2020-08-24 by Isabelle
    Concept très sympa, l'appli nous guide parfaitement bien, les hôtels sont tous charmants et pas besoin de s'occuper de logistique tout est prévu ! Un vrai plaisir de pouvoir gérer son timing comme on le souhaite : partir tôt ou tard, visiter avant ou après, s'arrêter en chemin ou pédaler sans s'arrêter... chacun fait ce qu'il veut ! La parcours Arles / Avignon est top. Je recommande. On attend juste un peu plus "d'humain" la prochaine fois pour humaniser cette expérience à travers un petit speech d'accueil par exemple ;-)
